Melody Gardot

I need a hand with my worrisome heart
I need a hand with my worrisome heart
I would be lucky to find me a man
who could love me the way that I am
with this here worrisome heart

I need a break from my troubling ways
I need a break from my troubling ways
I would be lucky to find me a man
who could love me the way that I am
with all my troubling ways

I need a man who got no baggage to claim
I need a man who got no baggage to claim
I would be lucky to find me a man
who could love me the way that I am

A worrisome troubling baggage free modern day dame.
A worrisome troubling baggage free modern day dame.
Ain't nobody the same

Boys like to think they can have it all
Well they don`t know they`re still so small
All that they see is live is opportunity
Guys like to think they`ll get any girl
That just one look, one quick twirl
That these acts alone will buy him a way into my home
No well they don`t know, no they don`t know
All that I`m dreaming of
They don`t know you know that they don`t know
That all that I need is love
So much of these times have been physical
Well all the love now where`d it go?
Could it be my words are all together totally absurd
All of the men I know laugh at me
They don`t listen, they can`t see
I`m falling apart `cause no one will acknowledge my heart
No they don`t know, no they don`t know
All that I`m dreaming of
They don`t know, you know that they don`t know
That all that I need is love
So I'll take my thoughts and just walk away
Well I`ve said all that I can say
But I`m still dreaming of
The day that I will find my love
The day that I will find my love
The day I will find my love

I won't wake up To the sound of your feet
Walking down the hall
Like a soft heartbeat I won't wake up
Cause by the time that I do you'll be gone
I won't look back
On a past so long
I won't look back
On the things gone wrong
I won't look back
Cause by the time that I do you'll be gone.
I won't have words I've said all that there is to say
I won't have words
Cause I know you'll just throw them away
I won't have words
Cause by the time that I do you'll be gone
By the time that I do you'll be gone
By the time that I do you'll be gone

Sweet Memory Talking bout a sweet memory
It goes round and round in my head
Pretty soon I'll want the real thing instead
But for now I got this sweet memory

Sunny day Sunny day
Not a cloud crosses the sky
Not a tear comes to my eye
On this sunny day

Sweet Memory Talking about a sweet memory
It goes round and round in my head
Pretty soon I'll want the real thing instead
But for now I got this sweet memory
Sweet Memory Sweet Memory

Well I'm buckled up inside
It's a miracle that I'm alive
I do not think I can survive
On bread and wine alone
To think that I could have fallen
A centimeter to the left
Would not be here to see the sunset
Or have myself a time

Well why do the hands of time
So easily unwind

Some lessons we learn the hard way
Some lessons don't come easy
That's the price we have to pay
Some lessons we learn the hard way
They don't come right off and right easy
That's why they say some lessons learned we learn the hard way

Remember the sound of the pavement
World turned upside down
City streets unlined and empty
Not a soul around
Life goes away in a flash
Right before your eyes
If I think real hard well I reckon I've had some real good times

Well why do the hands of time
So easily unwind

Some lessons we learn the hard way
Some lessons don't come easy
That's the price we have to pay
Some lessons we learn the hard way
They don't come right off and right easy
That's why they say some lessons learned we learn the hard way

I'm burnin' up
Burnin' oh a oh, oh oh
Quiet fire

Take, take my hand
Do with it what you will
I'm in dire need

'Cause all I want is somebody to love me like I do, whoa oh oh
Well all I want is somebody to love me like I do, whoa oh

You walk away
Nothin' left to say, but
Bye bye blue eyes and I
Whoa you know that I
I don't understand
No oh, oh oh

'Cause all I want is somebody to love me like I do, whoa oh oh
Well all I want is somebody to love me like I do

Well you can call me up for crazy
Call me certifiably nuts
All for love

What do you get for lettin' me win so easily?
Put up your dukes baby, what are you made of?

This isn't right, no this isn't right
You know that I'm not one to fuss
But what have you done to me?
You hardly make love to me now, whoa
My poor heart's about to burst
Right out of its seams

'Cause all I want is somebody to love me like I do, whoa oh oh
Well all I want is somebody to love me like I do

Burnin' up
Quiet fire

One day you will be mine
The clouds will part the sun will shine
One day you will be mine
One day you will arise
To see the stars within my eyes
One day you will be mine
(repeat first)

Love me Love me Love me Say you do
Let me fly away with you Mm

Love me like a river does
Cross the sea
Love me like a river does
Endlessly
Love me like a river does
Baby don't rush you're no waterfall
Love me that is all

Love me like roaring sea
Swirls about
Love me like a roaring sea
wash me out
Love me like a roaring sea
Baby don't rush you're no waterfall
Love me that is all

Love me like the earth itself
Spins around
Love me like the earth itself
Sky above below the ground
Love me like the earth itself
Baby don't rush you're no waterfall
Love me that is all

goodnite
close your eyes and just sleep tight
I'll lie awake and watch you dream
to be sure that all of your dreams are pure

my dear don't you worry bout a thing
I'll be near to you all night
and through the evening
I'll be by your side

so goodnite
close your eyes and just sleep tight
I'll lie awake and watch you dream
to be sure that all of your dreams are pure

(whistles)

while you slumber
in case you ever wonder
if a summer breeze just brushed your cheek
know its me

and goodnite
close your eyes and just sleep tight
I'll lie awake and watch you dream
to be sure that all of your dreams are pure

How was I to know that this was always only just a little game to you?
All the time I felt you gave your heart I thought that I would do the same for you,
Tell the truth I think I should have seen it coming from a mile away,
When the words you say are,
“Baby I’m a fool who thinks it’s cool to fall in love”

If I gave a thought to fascination I would know it wasn’t right to care,
Logic doesn’t seem to mind that I am fascinated by the love affair,
Still my heart would benefit from a little tenderness from time to time, but never mind,

Cos Baby I’m a fool who thinks it’s cool to fall in love,

Baby I should hold on just a moment and be sure it’s not for vanity,
Look me in the eye and tell me love is never based upon insanity,
Hear the way my heart is beating every other moments fleeting,
Kiss me now,
Don’t ask me how,
Cos Baby I’m a fool who thinks it’s cool to fall,
Baby I’m a fool who thinks it’s cool to fall,
And I would never tell if you became a fool and fell in Love.

If the stars were mine
I'd give them all to you
I'd pluck them down right from the sky
And leave it only blue

I would never let the sun forget
To shine upon your face
So when others would have rain clouds
You'd have only sunny days

If the stars were mine
I'd tell you what I'd do
I'd put the stars right in a jar
And give 'em all to you

If the birds were mine
I'd tell them when to sing
I'd make them sing a sonnet
When your telephone would ring

I would put them there inside the square
Whenever you went out
So there'd always be sweet music
Whenever you walk about

If the birds were mine
I'd tell you what I'd do
I'd teach the birds such lovely words
And make 'em sing for you
I'd teach the birds such lovely words
And make 'em sing for you

If the world was mine
I'd paint it gold and green
I'd make the oceans orange
For a brilliant color scheme

I would color all the mountains
Make the sky forever blue
So the world would be a painting
And I'd live inside with you

If the world was mine
I'd tell you what I'd do
I'd wrap the world in ribbons
And then give it all to you

I'd teach the birds such lovely words
And make 'em sing for you
I'd put those stars right in a jar and
Give them all to you

Mmm mmmmm mmmmm mmmm

My soul is a-weary
My soul is a-weary-ey
My soul is a-weary
I said my soul is a-weary-ey, now mmm mmm

My soul is a weary and
Beaten down from all my misery yeh
Oh Lord who will comfort me?

My soul is a weary and
Beaten down from all of my misery yeh

Day la d'en day now, la dah, day la d'en day ....

Your eyes may be whole
but the story I'm told
is that your heart is as black as night
your lips may be sweet
such that i can't compete
but your heart is as black as night

i don't know why you came along
at such a perfect time
but if i let you hang around
I'm bound to lose my mind
cuz your hands may be strong
but the feeling's all wrong
your heart is as black a night

i don't know why you came along
at such a perfect time
but if i let you hang around
I'm bound to lose my mind
cuz your hands may be strong
but the feeling's all wrong
your heart is as black a night

your heart is as black
oh, your heart is as black as night
ah-ah oooooo

I don't need anything more than I got
I'll make it simple when others may not

Whenever you need some company
Some love of a different kind
Come to your lover, undercover
And let me ease your mind

Whenever your heart beats heavy
And worry has got you down
Come to your lover, undercover
And I will turn your mood around

Why you wanna leave
When it's so easy just to stay?
Lying wrapped up in my arms
Until the break of day
Undercover

Why you wanna leave
When it's so easy just to stay?
Lying wrapped up in my arms
Until the break of day
So

Whenever you need a soft touch
Know my demands are small
Make me a lover, undercover
Or don't ever love me at all

Deep within your heart, you know it's plain to see
Like Adam was to Eve, you were made for me
They say the poisoned vine, breeds a finer wine
Our love is easy

If you ask me plainly, I would gladly say
I'd like to have you round just for them rainy days
I like the touch of your hand
The way you make no demands
Our love is easy

Our love is easy
Like water rushing over stone
Oh, our love is easy
Like no love, I've ever known

Physically speaking, we were made to last
Examine all the pieces of our recent past
There's your mouth of tears
Your hands around my waist
Our love is easy

Every time we meet, it's like the first we kiss
Never growing tired of this endlessness
It's a simple thing, we don't need a ring
Our love is easy

Our love is easy
Like water rushing over stone
Oh, our love is easy
Like no love, I've ever known

Our love is easy
Like water rushing over stone
Oh, our love is easy
Like no love, I've ever known

Deep within your heart, you know it's plain to see
Like Adam was to Eve, you were made for me
They say the poisoned vine, breeds a finer wine

Les etoiles les etoiles les etoiles
Dites-moi etoile, pourquoi je vous regarde?
Les etoiles les etoiles les etoiles
Dites-moi, etoile qui vous regardera?
(Scat)
Les etoiles les etoiles
Si seulement je savais
Dites moi etoile de qui obtenez-vous la lumiere
Les etoiles les etoiles
Vous qui etes belle dans les cieux
Dites-moi etoile, qui vous donnera l'amour?
(Scat)
The stars the stars shining up above
Tell me stars who will give you love
The stars the stars lights of white and blue
Tell me stars why I look to you
(Scat)

The rain, the rain
Rain came down in sheets that night
And you and I stared out to the left and to the right
Rain came down and cursed, seemed to laugh at us
Still daylight

The clouds, the clouds
Clouds raced all across the autumn sky
And you and I fumbled for a way to say goodbye
Strangers weren't we
Scared to look into each other's eyes?

Strangers weren't we
Scared to look into each other's eyes?

Birds may cease to spread their wings
But it don't matter, but it don't matter
Winters may envelop spring
But it don't matter, but it don't matter

'Cause when I'm with you
My whole world stands still
You're my one and only thrill

Ships may never leave the dock
But it don't matter, but it don't matter
Ticks may never hear a tock
But it don't matter, but it don't matter

'Cause when I'm with you
My whole world stands still
You're my one and only thrill

Shores may never reach the tide
But it don't matter, but it don't matter
Buds may never open wide
But it don't matter, but it don't matter

'Cause when I'm with you
My whole world stands still
You're my one and only thrill

You're my, you're my
You're my one and only thrill

Deep within the corners of my mind
I keep a memory of your face
And I only pull it out
When I long for your embrace

Deep within the corners of my mind
I'm haunted by your smile
As it promises me joys
Like a journey to a tropic isle

It's not hard to see what you do to me
It's like a page right out of fist time wave
Though I try to fight
All the word you write, leave me standing
In the starry robe in some tragic lovers place

But deep within the corners of my mind
I'm praying secretly
That eventually in time
There'll be a place for you and me

That eventually in time
There'll be a place for you and me
There'll be a place for you and me
Deep within the corners of my mind

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

(instrumental break for trumpet)

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why oh why can't I?

If the stars were mineI'd give them all to youI'd pluck them down right from the skyAnd leave it only blueI would never let the sun forgetTo shine upon your faceSo when others would have rain cloudsYou'd have only sunny daysIf the stars were mineI'd tell you what I'd doI'd put the stars right in a jarAnd give 'em all to youIf the birds were mineI'd tell them when to singI'd make them sing a sonnetWhen your telephone would ringI would put them there inside the squareWhenever you went outSo there'd always be sweet musicWhenever you walk aboutIf the birds were mineI'd tell you what I'd doI'd teach the birds such lovely wordsAnd make 'em sing for youI'd teach the birds such lovely wordsAnd make 'em sing for youIf the world was mineI'd paint it gold and greenI'd make the oceans orangeFor a brilliant color schemeI would color all the mountainsMake the sky forever blueSo the world would be a paintingAnd I'd live inside with youIf the world was mineI'd tell you what I'd doI'd wrap the world in ribbonsAnd then give it all to youI'd teach the birds such lovely wordsAnd make 'em sing for youI'd put those stars right in a jar andGive them all to you
